The Secret Emissary tells the story of a young Mexican from a wealthy family in Sonora, Mexico. Educated in Spain, Luis Esquerre Calella de Valderano is a skilled researcher and writer, and with a penchant for international relations and diplomacy, he becomes an unofficial Vatican liaison with an American diplomat during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. A talented academic, accomplished musician, and agile sportsman-a friend to popes and aristocrats alike-Luis becomes a collaborator in underground activities against Fascists in Italy, Germany, and Spain. As a covert agent for the Jesuit Superior General and Popes Pius XI and XII and a secret liaison between the Vatican and Jesuit Curia and American military intelligence, Luis cuts a swath through history as he becomes a Monsignor, a Bishop, and after World War II, a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church.

Can a human spirit transcend time and space? This is the question author Roberto de Haro examines in this thoughtful new fantasy spanning two world wars. World War I pilot Oliver Purdom has so much waiting for him back home in the United Kingdom, but before he can return to his loving wife, his plane is shot down. However, that isn't the end of his story. Decades later, Mexican American airman Vince Hollman enlists with the Royal Air Force. Vince has had a strange childhood. Ever since he was young, he has heard a ghostly voice in his head. He even visited a curandera, a traditional Mexican healer, about the phenomenon. He eventually made peace with this voice, but then a strange event makes him realize there is still much he doesn't know about his own origins. When Vince ships out to the United Kingdom, present life and memories collide. Years ago, Oliver fell in love with the beautiful Abigail, and now Vince finds himself connecting to this very special woman. As the two navigate a unique relationship, Vince's military duty calls him away. Can Oliver's spirit help keep Vince alive as the world faces another catastrophic war?
